 | Love is in the air at Coquette Point, Jessie the matriarch cassowary of Coquette Point is walking out with ‘Little Dad’. Last Sunday as I was walking along the mangroves I sensed a movement in the leaves, when I looked in the dimness I saw cassowary ‘Little Dad’ sitting among the roots of an hibiscus tiliaceus. Some three metres away I saw another cassowary standing absolutely still. I was unable to identify the bird hidden behind the dense undergrowth and I did not wish to disturb them. |
I left the area but went back to check if they were still there every half to one hour making every effort not to be heard or seen. Two hours later they were gone. Excitedly I looked for eggs but none to be found.
